I wish they would say or not if they fixed the demos issues. I'm not layingdown 65 bucks on a crap port.

I'm pretty sure they have as the final game uses the Mass Effect 3 game engine, the demo used an older build of the game. but i think its Unreal Engine technology so expect some laaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggg.

Wow, gamespot gave it an 8.5 because of graphical and frame-rate problems, along with glitches in the DLC........

They gave the 360 version 9, it didn't even have DLCs.

Weird. They say the main campaign is fine though.

I'll pick this up after a pricedrop.  Yes, I'm a cheapass gamer.


Fool! PS3 games don't have pricedrops unless they're atleast two years old and are on holiday sales!


One day I'll post my game collection.  I have a HUGE backlog.  Besides, I need to borrow a friend's Xbox 360 to get the full effect of the first Mass Effect before I play 2.

I wouldn't recommend that. If you're going to play the original Mass Effect, you have to import your save, else you'll spend the entire game saying to yourself "I didn't do that!"

I think I see what you're saying, but I'm not going to let it bother me.

How much is it on PSN, $39.99?

Out now on PSN.

- 12GB of your HDD but you need at least 24GB for download and install

I will check the price when go back home.

That's like saying ME 2 Demo on PSN is 2 GB but after installing it takes 4 GB.

It will take 12 GB even after installing.

EDIT: Seems like I was wrong. Apparently it seems to be compressed into 12 GB and later on takes 24 GB(wtf).
